Reno Evening Gazette Aug. 2, 1882
The Paxton-Emerson Wedding

  The wedding of Mr. Blitz Paxton, for several months a resident of Reno, son 

of Mr. John A. Paxton, the banker, and Miss Bessie Emerson, of New York, took 

place, last Thursday, at the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. Warfield, 

at Healdsburg, Cal.  Miss Emerson, who spent last winter in San Francisco, is 

a sister of Mrs. M.H. Warfield.  Mr. Paxton is junior member of the Front 

street, San Francisco, fruit and commission house of George W. Meade & Co.  

The ceremony was performed at noon by the Rev. Mr. Burnett, at Healdsburg.  It 

was a very quiet affair, only those being present who were closely connected 

with the family.  The family, the officiating minister, Mr. Morgan Hill, of 

San Francisco, and Mr. Polhemus, of San Jose, were alone present.  The bride 

wore her traveling suit, and immediately after the congratulations which 

followed the ceremony, a collation was partaken of and the young couple took 

the afternoon train the same day for San Francisco.  The presents were of 

great beauty and value, one being a check for $20,000.  Mr. and Mrs. Paxton 

are now in Los Angeles, upon their return will be at home at the Palace, San 

Francisco.
